Sawan 2025: The month of Sawan has started. In this holy month of Sawan, devotees of Lord Shiva go on the Kawad Yatra. Keeping in mind the Kanwar Yatra, many states have decided to keep the schools of their districts closed on the first Monday of Sawan.
Due to the month of Sawan and Kanwar Yatra, a holiday has been declared in schools on Monday, July 14 in many districts of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh and Haryana. During Sawan, crores of devotees travel on foot carrying water from the holy river for Lord Shiva, which increases the crowd and traffic on the roads. For this reason, the administration has taken this decision as a precaution.
For this reason, holidays have been declared on different dates in some districts. At the same time, an order has been issued to keep all government and private schools closed on every Monday of Sawan in Varanasi and Badaun.
Varanasi: In view of the Kanwar Yatra and the huge crowd of devotees in Varanasi during Sawan, the administration has decided to keep all government and private schools closed every Monday.

Haridwar: Keeping in mind the increasing number of devotees and security arrangements during the Kanwar Yatra in Haridwar, the administration has decided to keep all schools and Anganwadi centers closed from July 14 to 23.
